Detailed analysis of the Abarth 695C XSR Yamaha 1.4 16v T-JET 165 CV Cambio Secuencial Robotizado (2017-2018)
General description
The Abarth 695C XSR Yamaha is not just a car, it's a statement of intent. Born from the collaboration between Abarth's Italian passion and Yamaha's competitive spirit, this small convertible scorpion offers a concentrated dose of adrenaline and exclusivity. It is a vehicle designed to be felt, not just for getting around, a special edition that celebrates speed and style without complexes.
Driving experience
Driving the 695C XSR Yamaha is a visceral experience. The 165 HP 1.4 T-JET engine pushes with an unexpected rage for its size, accompanied by the hoarse and addictive roar of its Akrapovič exhaust. Every acceleration pins you to the seat and every curve feels like a challenge thanks to its rigid chassis and short wheelbase, conveying a pure go-karting sensation. The robotized sequential gearbox, although not as refined as a modern dual-clutch, adds a mechanical and engaging character that connects you directly to the machine. With the top down, every sound, every gust of wind, intensifies a raw and exciting driving experience.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is pure poison concentrated in a small bottle. The Fiat 500 base is transformed with aerodynamic add-ons, 17-inch wheels that fill the wheel arches, and the unmistakable scorpion logos. This XSR Yamaha edition adds exclusive details in Pista gray and carbon finishes that evoke the world of two wheels. The electric canvas top gives it a charming duality: that of a small, aggressive sports car and that of a treat for enjoying the sun. It's a car that screams 'look at me' and exudes Italian character from every pore.
Technology and features
The technology in this Abarth is at the service of performance, not comfort. The main focus is its mechanical engineering: the turbocharged engine, Koni sports suspension, and Brembo brakes. The Uconnect infotainment system fulfills basic connectivity functions, but it is not the protagonist. The real technological piece to highlight is its robotized sequential gearbox, which seeks to emulate a racing experience, sacrificing smoothness for speed and connection. You won't find advanced driving assistants, because this car demands that the driver be the main and only assistant.
Competition
Finding a direct rival for such a specific proposal is complicated. By concept, the MINI Cooper S Cabrio is its closest competitor, offering a similar mix of compact size, performance, a soft top, and premium positioning, although with a perhaps more refined and less radical approach. Other small sports cars like the Ford Fiesta ST, although without a convertible version, compete in the field of driving fun, but lack the Italian style and exclusivity of the Abarth.
Conclusion
The Abarth 695C XSR Yamaha is a purely emotional purchase. It is an imperfect car for daily use: it is small, firm, and noisy. However, these same imperfections are its greatest virtues for anyone looking for an adult's toy. It is a smile-generating machine, an antidote to automotive boredom that offers supercar sensations in a pocket-sized format. It is an expensive indulgence, yes, but one that rewards with a personality and fun that few modern cars can match.
